SENSITIZING REACTION CHEMISTRY IN DETONATION - CHEMICAL KINETICS
Abstract
The proposed study seeks to explore detonation reaction kinetics using experimentally observed detonation waves in narrow channels, leveraging a unique geometric model of detonation and Stanford linear detonation facility, both developed under the current AFOSR support. The geometric model is physics-based and is formulated from two levels of detonation wave details: an inner model that tracks the dynamics of point blasts and an outer model that considers the resulting interaction of detonation wave structures amongst themselves and within the geometric confinement (or boundary conditions). In this manner, the structure of detonation wave, including cell structure, cell size and its distribution, and the detonation velocity can be modeled without having to solve the Navier-Stokes or Euler equations, which are not amenable to reaction kinetics studies due to their computational cost.
